Rodea the Sky Soldier has had a troubled history, delayed frequently before its eventual release - and commercial flop - in Japan. It seems that troubles have followed its localisation, too, if the status of Amazon orders are to be believed.
We're been sent a copy of a pre-order notification for Amazon in the US - thanks Zach...

Though Nostatic Software is a studio with quite a few games in its release history, it's new to Nintendo hardware. Just recently it published a compilation of small games as The Quiet Collection on the Wii U eShop in North America, which we gave a recommendation in our review.
The studio is wasting no time...

It can seem like most new eShop game announcements are for the Wii U, which is certainly the case. Thankfully promising new download games for Nintendo's portable do come along occasionally, and Gunslugs 2 certainly fits the bill.
It's being published by Engine Software, which is experienced in working on the 3DS, and was...

UK publisher Curve Digital has confirmed that it is bringing indie title Hue to consoles early next year.
A unique puzzle platformer which allows you to shift the colour of the level to overcome traps and hazards, Hue has already gained a lot of attention on the indie dev circuit.
Here's what Fiddlesticks Creative Director Henry...

Those of you who have enjoyed playing the likes of Tetris, Columns or Puzzle Bobble against another human opponent will know that this sort of competitive play offers a buzz that few other genres can match - and developer Intropy Games is of the opinion that we don't see enough of this kind of action puzzler these days.
Therefore,...

We all knew it was going to happen, but it has finally been confirmed - Terraria is coming to Nintendo platforms.
Re-Logic's 2D platforming sandbox title will be getting a retail release on both the 3DS and Wii U, with both versions offering touch-screen support which should make the Minecraft-style world...

For Monster Hunter fans there can never be enough of a good thing, which Capcom seems to know with its monthly deliveries of DLC. Of course gamers in the West don't get all of the spin-offs and variations that grace Japan - we're hoping that Monster Hunter X (Cross) will buck that trend.
With a renewed action focus and...

There have been a number of Nintendo Web Framework releases on the Wii U eShop that haven't made it to Europe, for a host of reasons. One that is making the transition - however - is ZaciSa's Last Stand, though as announced earlier in the year it'll be called ZaciSa: Defense of the Crayon...

Nintendo has revealed that two fan-favourite Wii titles will be coming to the Wii U eShop next month.
Vanillaware's Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Atlus' Trauma Team (known as Hospital: 6 Doctors in Japan) are the titles in question, and will launch on August 19th for 2,700 Yen each.
"Muramasa: The Demon Blade and games...

The Legend of Legacy is another promising RPG on the way to the 3DS in the West. It's due in North America towards the end of this year, and we were left with high hopes after going hands on during E3.
But what about Europe? The good news is that NIS America is picking it up for the region - Atlus...

It's the Summer - though it's overcast and raining outside this writer's window at the time of writing - and we've published articles pointing out some of the biggest and best games coming to the Wii U, Wii U eShop and the Nintendo 3DS. Now, after an intolerab

Update:
Well, we said these Nintendo website listings aren't 100% right. Freedom Planet's developer has tweeted that the game will actually come after the RTX convention (which is 7th-9th August) as development has taken longer than expected. Thanks to Grumblevolcano for the heads up in the comments.

Though we always have to wait for games to arrive before judging whether they live up to their potential, some download titles are obvious examples of a dedicated team striving to produce a high quality game. In an era when concept games of questionable quality and value flood the eShop, projects with more love and care given to them...

Aperion Cyberstorm may be taking a little while to arrive, but it's a promising twin-stick shooter that's on the way to the Wii U eShop. Developed by aPriori Digital, it'll have a Metroidvania-style single player campaign but will also have a notable focus on local multiplayer, with co-op and versus...

Xeodrifter is a gem on the 3DS eShop, a rapid Metroidvania-style project from Renegade Kid that's rightly earned plenty of praise. With its imminent arrival on the Wii U eShop in North America there had been doubts that early adopters would be able to enjoy the offer - this was the result of eShop limitations and the existing...

We're rather looking forward to Assault Android Cactus - the frantic bullet-hell shoot'em up is due this Summer on PS4 and 'later' on Wii U; it's been a long time coming. The Early Access PC build has been progressing nicely, so its arrival on Wii U is certainly something to look forward to.
The latest information and footage of the title...

The Wii U eShop is doing a good job of attracting quality multiplatform indie titles lately, and the next in line is BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition, which lands on 30th July in North America and Europe. The North American price is $9.99, with Euro pricing still to be confirmed.
The Wii U version builds on the original tablet game...

3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 recently landed on the 3DS eShop in Japan. This version of the game sports all the features of the Mega Drive / Genesis original, including two player support. In cooperative play, player two gets an invincible Tails and two players can race on a split screen in Match Play mode.
Of course the main...

This week sees the western launch of 3D Streets of Rage 2, the latest in Sega's line of 3DS-based 3D Classics. It's one of the most beloved games of the 16-bit era, and also one of the most technically impressive Genesis / Mega Drive titles seen so far. In fact, the game is such a potent showcase of...

Nestled snugly between Senran Kagura's bountiful bosoms and the Cold Steel of the latest Legend of Heroes chapter, Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale occupied a relatively unassuming spot at XSEED's E3 booth last month, but it certainly left quite an impression. This upcoming 3DS title is a crossover that...
